Default
The button is used to define a default action by the System Scanner to handle the files
encountered. Highlight an action and click the "
Default"
button. Only the selected
default action for the relevant files can be executed in combined notification mode. The
selected default action for the relevant files is preselected in individual and expert
notification mode.
Note
The action
repair
cannot be selected as the default action.
Note
If you have selected
Delete
or
Overwrite and delete
as the default action and
wish to set the notification mode to combined, please note the following: In the
case of heuristic hits, the affected files are not deleted, but are instead moved to
quarantine.
Automatic
If this option is enabled, no dialog box in case of a virus detection appears. The
System Scanner reacts according to the settings you predefine in this section as
primary and secondary action.
Copy file to quarantine before action
If this option is enabled, the System Scanner creates a backup copy before carrying
out the requested primary or secondary action. The back-up copy is saved in
Quarantine, where the file can be restored if it is of informative value. You can also
send the backup copy to the Avira Malware Research Center for further investigation.
Display detection alerts
If this option is activated, then for each detection of a virus or unwanted program an
alert appears showing the actions being executed.
Primary action
Primary action is the action performed when the System Scanner finds a virus or an
unwanted program. If the option "
Repair"
is selected but the affected file cannot be
repaired, the action selected under "
Secondary action"
is performed.
Note
The option
Secondary action
can only be selected if the setting
Repair
was
selected under
Primary action
.
